A quick look suggests that BON is roughly equivalent to the subset of
UML which brings about 90% of the value.

Ragbag of notations so each person on the project can choose which
subset to use (people have been known to think they had to use every
UML feature: that way lies madness and bankruptcy).

Lack of precise definition so it's not obvious you haven't really
thought through the problem.

Of course, both of those can be fixed; if you're going to generate
code, they have to be.
